With a slim nose that allows for greater visibility and just 28mm edge distance between the tool end and the nail exit point this nailer is ideal close to the edge nailing and tight areas. A rubberised grip allows firm control and side bumpers prevent damage. Once I started thinking out the box I realised this is a superb bit of kit to hold fence panels together. I duly cut one down and rebuilt it with this pin gun. Have to say it beat a hammer and nails all day long. Very neat and tidy indeed: Angled nailers can get into corners far more easily which can be a huge advantage depending on the application but can be a little more restrictive in terms of the sizes of nails they can fire (EG 32mm to 64mm), straight nailers may struggle to get right into that corner, but will normally give you more nail size options, often being able to fire nails from a shorter starting point, (eg. 16m to 64mm).

Although Brad nailers fire a heavier gauge nail than pin nailers, the hole they leave behind on the workpiece is still relatively small and easy to fill for a great finish. You will be pleasantly surprised by the Ryobi ONE+ 18G AirStrike Nailer. Ryobi and relative newcomers to the cordless game and are playing each up with the professionals. Whilst this tool is far from a rounded and complete nailer, it does offer superb value for money and more than enough for your typical second fix at home.

At the same time I wanted to show you how easily this gun pumps 40mm 18 gauge brads into hardwood. The gun reloads itself much slower than the smaller pin gun but that is to be expected as it has to wind itself up to fire. What I did notice when using it all day was the occasional misfire. It would make all the noises but not let go of a brad – every time this happened to me was when I was testing the speed. It clearly needs a chance to wind up so don’t rush it – no nee when it’s twenty times faster than a hammer and panel pins already and leaves far less damage on the timber. If you look closely this finish is a decorators dream, most will fill that with a dab of caulk, if that. Equipped with Battery protection circuit: designed to protect the battery from damages due to overdischarge, high temperature or overload current. The MAKDBN500ZJ’s low reaction force gives you better control and makes operation more comfortable for the user. Other features include an LED job light, anti dry-fire mechanism, tool-less depth adjustment, low battery power warning light and battery protection circuit. Brad nailers are most likely the most popular type of nailer, often referred to as either "2nd Fix" or "Finishing" nailers. These nailers fire "Brad Nails", which are heavier in gauge (Diameter), than pin nailers. Brad nails also tend to have a small head, and sometines a serrated shank. as a result, brad nails tend to have considerably more holding power than pins. Most common uses include things like attaching skirting boards, door trims, heavier mouldings or furniture assembly work. Equipped with battery protection circuit: designed to protect the battery from damages due to overdischarge, high temperature or overload current.

I wish I had this for weatherboard on my shed – the time it would have saved, oh well hindsight and all that – another superb use I could get in was garden gates – look how neatly it finished the braces:

The compressed air (generated by piston action linked with the DC motor) moves the driving guide. The mechanism provides less reaction force and “air nailer like” shot feeding to the operator. The nailer is compatible with 18 Ga (1.0 x 1.2 mm) brads from 15 to 50 mm. You will also see both "Straight" and "Angled" versions of brad nailers available and it can be a bit of a head-scratcher deciding which may be best for you. The Makita DBN500 18V LXT Second Fix Finishing Brad Nail Gun from ITS is includes in-built compressor provides a nailing touch similar to that offered by a pneumatic nailer.

Let’s assume you are looking to do some skirtings, architraves, some glazing bead, or any of the lighter second fix jobs you will not be disappointed by this gun. As you can see softwood or hardwood the pins disappear leaving only the tiniest mark as a trace. So it won’t matter what material you are firing it, you’ll finish cleanly. For something heavier the requires more hold like a window board I would look to the 18gauge range which we will review next. I love the reload mechanism too. You simply release the clip in the picture below, insert the brads with the triangles conveniently showing you which way round (given the brads are headless you need that help) as you can see in the picture below:Slim nose allows better visibility for easy access to the point you aim at - enables user to shoot nails into tight spaces Slim nose allows better visibility for easy access to the point you aim at. Enables user to shoot nails into tight spaces. If you have large skirting, window board you want to fix down, architraves, and any general second fix work this gun is a big step up in power from the first 23 gauge pin gun and will hold timber very firmly. You could easily attach larger skirtings into a timber stud with this leaving practically no making good at all. It’s a very very accomplished bit of kit. Brian tells me he uses this on parting and staff bead on sash windows, putting trims on garden conservatories and all panelling. The DBN500 is cordless brad nailer powered by 18V Li-ion battery. The compressed air (generated by piston action linked with DC motor) moves the driving guide. The mechanism provides less reaction force and “air nailer like” shot feeling to the operator.
